Your Wedding Photography

Wedding days move quickly, and no two unfold the same way. My approach is rooted in being present, prepared, and adaptable — knowing when to step back and let moments happen naturally, and when to step in with thoughtful direction or intentional light. From getting ready through the last moments of the night, the goal is always the same: images that feel honest, polished, and true to how the day actually felt.

PRESENT WHEN IT MATTERS. UNOBTRUSIVE WHEN IT DOESN'T.

Rochester NY Wedding Photography Pricing & Investment

It begins with a conversation — learning about your plans, priorities, and what matters most to you. This is a chance to ask questions, talk through logistics, and make sure we’re the right fit before moving forward. Once you reach out, I’ll be in touch soon to continue the conversation.

1. Start the conversation

2. Engagement Session

The engagement session is a relaxed, low-pressure way to get comfortable in front of the camera and see how I work. I’ll guide when needed, step back when it matters, and create space for natural moments to unfold — setting the tone for the wedding day.

3. ask me Anything

As plans come together, I’m here as a resource — from timeline guidance to lighting considerations and location logistics. Whether you need advice or reassurance, you’ll always have someone in your corner.

4. Your wedding day

On the wedding day itself, my role is to stay calm, present, and adaptable. I focus on real moments as they happen, while shaping light and offering direction when it adds to the story — allowing you to stay present and enjoy the day.

5. Gallery delivery & print ordering

After the wedding, you’ll receive a thoughtfully curated online gallery that tells the full story from start to finish. From there, you can download images, share with loved ones, and order high-quality prints and albums to preserve the memories long after the day has passed. Whether you're planning a celebration in Rochester, the Finger Lakes, or beyond, the goal is the same: photographs that feel honest, intentional, and true to the day.

The Wedding Process

Fill out the contact form to get started. I’ll follow up with availability, full pricing details, and next steps. A signed contract and retainer officially reserve your date, and you’ll have access to a private online portal for contracts, payments, and communication throughout the process.

Q: How do we book?

Common Questions, Answered

My style blends natural, emotion-driven storytelling with clean, intentional lighting. I rely heavily on natural light when it works, and I’m equally comfortable using off-camera flash when needed to maintain consistency, depth, and true-to-life color — no matter the conditions. The goal is timeless images that feel real, not trendy.

Q: What is your photography style?

You’ll receive a small preview within a few days of your wedding. Full wedding galleries are delivered within 6–8 weeks via an online gallery, where you can download high-resolution images, share with friends and family, and order professional prints.

Choosing a wedding photographer is about more than photos — it’s about trust, experience, and how someone makes you feel throughout the day. Below are a few kind words from couples I’ve worked with and the experiences we shared together.

Client Reviews

Every wedding is different, and your photographer should reflect that. I take a limited number of weddings each year so I can be fully present, prepared, and invested in every couple I work with.

If my work resonates with you, I’d love to learn more about your plans and see if we’re a good fit.
